Review Summary

Reviewers consistently highlight Original Shawarma for generous portions, especially the mandi and shawarma, strong authentic flavors, and good value for money, with many calling it the best shawarma in Montreal or even Canada. The meat is described as juicy and well seasoned, sauces like garlic sauce are standout, and the rice and sides are noted as solid or excellent; the dine in experience is praised for atmosphere and service in many visits, while others complain about crowded, noisy rooms, long queues, and occasional slow or disorganized service. Some meals arrive cold or overly salty on certain visits, and parking is frequently cited as a challenge. Takeout and family platters are popular and price point is a strong positive, though quality can vary across visits. Overall the sentiment is that Original Shawarma delivers great flavor and generous portions, attracting repeat customers, while peak hours can stress the staff and space.

Had high expectations only to be met with disappointment. The beef shawarma was 17$ barely filled & very thin. The meat was sliced very thick & lacked flavour.

Busy place for lunch. I ordered for takeout. I got mostly rice. No veggies like in the pictures. The chicken was quite good. The house sauce is delicious. Friendly lady at the counter. I was disappointed because it was dry with only rice & chicken. I will return & give them another try. I will try the lamb next time.
